Need help!

I'm trying to adjust the doors on my 65 c10 but having extreme difficulty. Is there anyone in the Ft Worth area that would be willing to come to Bowie and help me? I'll pay for the help!!

Re: Need help!

Dunno if it helps, but I find removing the latch makes adjusting the doors a lot easier.

Hinge bolts on the a-pillar move the door fore and aft, as well as potentially "rotating" the door. Hinge bolts on the door move the door in and out, as well as potentially rotating the top out and/or bottom in.

Then put the latch in, adjusting it to fit perfectly with the now perfectly fitting door.

I'd come over, but it's a heck of a drive.
